A Beautiful Bowl of Thai Curry in Less Than an Hour

A good Thai curry is a deceptively simple dish–it tastes so good, you think it would take days of stewing and simmering and spice mixing just to get it right. But you’d be wrong. It’s easy! In fact, our Thai Chicken Curry recipe just takes 45 minutes to prepare, and to make cleanup easier, it’s a one-pot meal. Sure, if you wanted to make your own Thai Curry Paste from scratch, it might take a little longer, but we recommend going for the stuff in a jar, because that’s what things in jars are for.

Not to say that it’s not great fresh, but this is also one of those dishes that just keeps getting better in Tupperware (or your leftover storage solution brand of choice). Scale up the recipe a bit, and you’ve got a thick, spicy meal that you can eat on its own or pour over pretty much any starch (rice would be the norm, but short pasta is surprisingly good in a pinch) any day of the week.
